The show will feature CEOs, presidents, and executives who have mastered sustainable growth in highly competitive markets.
“After 20+ years of studying what separates thriving businesses from those that struggle to grow, I’ve learned that sustainable competitive advantage comes from building strategies around your core competencies,” said Zehr. “This podcast will give listeners direct access to the frameworks and tools that market leaders use to scale efficiently.”
Each episode will explore the marketing strategies, operational systems, and competitive advantages that drive measurable results for mid-market companies across professional services, financial services, legal services, insurance, and healthcare industries.

His current role as founder of Zairmail, a direct mail automation company serving high-volume businesses, coupled with his research focus on sustainable competitive advantage, provides both practical and theoretical foundations for each strategic conversation.
